Rules for Naming Binary Ionic Compounds Containing a Metal Ion With a Variable Charge. A binary ionic compound is composed of ions of two different elements - one of which is a metal, and the other a nonmetal. For example, iron(III) iodide, FeI3, is composed of iron ions, Fe3+ (elemental iron is a metal), and iodide ions, I- (elemental iodine is a nonmetal). Rule 1.
Metals combine with nonmetals to give ionic compounds. When naming binary ionic compounds, name the cation first (specifying the charge, if necessary), then the nonmetal anion (element stem + -ide). Do NOT use prefixes to indicate how many of each element is present; this information is implied in the name of the compound. NaCl Sodium chloride AlBr
